I found this image over at
Design*Sponge and love it. I do however, have a few questions…:
1. Does the lobster fork actually count as a fork? Looks more like a lobster pick.
2. What if you have fruit for lunch? Which fork do you use? Same question goes for having fruit for desert…I am having a fork freak out!
3. Why even create an ice cream fork? What is the point? Is it just to make sure ice cream doesn’t feel left out from this outrageously absurd list of forks? Who eats ice cream with anything but a spoon or directly from a cone?
4. Don’t get me started on the fact that there is a pastry fork. Let’s say you have a fruit filled pastry. Do you use two forks? Let’s now say the pastry is filled with strawberries and bananas. Do you now use three forks? The strawberry fork (see question 5), the fruit fork and the pastry fork? Seems like overkill to me, but no one ever said I was the queen of sophistication or a fork aficionado.
5. Strawberries get their own fork? Why? Strawberries are fruit, no? Why wouldn’t the fruit fork suffice? Why do they get special treatment? Or on the other hand, why are they being marginalized into their own category? Seems like the creator of this diagram might me a bit fruitist…
